IN AN article written by Caitriona Durcan (Irish Independent, August 30), I was interviewed about the au pair industry.

Ms Durcan then proceeded to interview three au pairs who had negative reflections and experiences -- but at no point did the article explain that those au pairs were not placed by my agency, The European Au Pair Agency.

Readers could mistakenly think that my agency had placed these dissatisfied girls and this is not the case. Ms Durcan found these anonymous contributors elsewhere.
